A shot from a few weeks back which I've finally finished processing. It's from Friday night at Astro Camp (March 23rd) when I had a great time walking far and wide through the bush surrounding the actual observing field doing different shots until 2am
Very beautiful image Roger and complete with coloured stars and trees in the frame.. if you decide to enter it into the David Malin awards this year I am certain David will like this very much
Very atmospheric shot Roger. The stars have a diffuse look that suits the mood. Must have been quite a job to process.
Thanks for your comments Yes, quite a job to process, I'm slowly getting a bit quicker at blending silhouettes with such tricky outlines but it still takes a few hours work. I guess I like a challenge

I'll go out on a limb here .... I think this would be in contention for overall winner, probably the most beautiful version of this type of photograph I have seen

Well done Roger!

Thanks Darrin .. I agree, canvas would be awesome .. I wonder .. I could replace the current Southern Cross canvas in my observatory with one of this ... hmmm... will think about it
That is very nicely done Roger. I appreciate the difficulty here of matching the foreground with the moving stars. Did you have the foreground as a separate layer?
I like the soft glow of the bright stars. Did you defocus these halfway through the exposure?
Nice effect. It accentuates them nicely. I take it you didn't smear Vaseline all over your lens! Perhaps one of those
glow filters?
